On NH-58 Roorkee Road in Modipuram, at the northern edge of Meerut, Dayawati Modi Academy - known widely as DMA - has been running for over 45 years under the legacy of its founder Maaji Dayawati Modi. With more than 3,200 students currently enrolled and a staff strength exceeding 300, the school has grown from a local institution into one of the most recognized CBSE schools in Meerut. Director Principal Dr. Ritu Dewan leads academic operations under the broader Modi Schools network, with a stated focus on building skilled, culturally rooted individuals equipped for a technology-driven world.

The 2025-26 CBSE results placed DMA firmly on the map: Navya Jain secured 99.6% to become the Meerut City Topper in Class 12, while 72 students scored a perfect 100 out of 100 in their respective subjects. On the engineering entrance front, Shreysth Verma cracked JEE at 99.68 percentile, Divya Goyal at 99.51, and Aadit Verma at 99.39 - among several DMA students who featured in top JEE percentiles this cycle. Alumni achievements extend further: Harsh Nehra, a DMA graduate, secured UPSC AIR 74 in 2026. The school's alumni network also includes Manu Kumar Jain, former Global VP of Xiaomi India, and Devika Sirohi, the Purdue University scientist who decoded the Zika virus structure.

The campus facilities include an International Equestrian Academy, a shooting range, science and computer laboratories, an art and craft room, and dedicated sports infrastructure - an unusually broad facility profile for a school in this part of western Uttar Pradesh. Inter-House Competitions, PTMs, National Technology Day, Earth Day, and a structured monthly events calendar keep the co-curricular calendar active through the year. The school publishes monthly newsletters and maintains a detailed video gallery documenting campus life.
